Advice & Tips:
Ive been on Zonegran for a month. I still cannot tell whether it is 100% completely effective for my epilepsy but I am taking it alongside with Keppra. I used to take Keppra with Trileptal. I do like it better than the Trileptal so far, but the only major thing I dont like so far is the heat sensitivity that Im having with this medication.
What do I mean by this you ask?
If you're on Zonegran... please please please... be careful when you go outside in hot weather. This medication will make you super sensitive to it! I had some scary heat exhaustion from it today (but luckily I am fine now) so I guess you can say that I found out the hard way. I never hard that problem before I was on this medication. Make sure you are properly hydrated as much as possible and keep yourself properly cooled is the best advice I can give you at the moment if you are taking this medication.
